About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spreading the beauty that I hope to create with my art. And being a decent human being of course!

ABOUT ME

I love to create my own worlds by programming them into the computer, and then I make electronic music and abstract video clips with these worlds. Yep, that sounds pretty abstract but the cool thing is that when I do it, there's very concrete results coming out of that. This way of making floaty fantasies concrete reality is something I really find magical. Then again: computers do suck your brain dry sometimes and that's why it's good to travel, change patterns, and do New Stuff!

PHILOSOPHY

Never be 100% sure of what you think that you know... but don't be too modest to clearly express what you believe in either!

Interests

People! And there's a lot of them! They're great, and weird too, and sometimes really nasty, but happily I don't meet the latter category so often. I rollerskate a LOT and once in a while I manage to read a book. Not that often though. Talking with friends, watching movies, preventing my body from deteriorating by doing some basic yoga or dancing to great (or horrible) music in my room or in a club...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing on the beach in LA, realizing that I'm on the other side of the world from where I live, for no other reason than that I'm doing what I love to do. Doesn't sound very spectacular, but it was an amazing sensation at the moment!
